| Titolo: | On two sixteenth-century instruments by Giovanni Antonio Magini (1555-1617) / Fabrizio Bònoli, Marina Zuccoli. |
| Abstract: | This paper aims at stressing the importance of the Italian astronomer Giovanni Antonio Magini (1555-1617) as instrument designer, describing two of his quadrants. The quadrant has manifold uses, in astronomy, topography, cartography and mathematics. Magini practises all these disciplines, as professor of Astronomy at the University of Bologna and the author of many important works, such as Italia (a cartographic representation of Italy) and his Ephemerides.The history of the ownership of the quadrants designed by Magini, which can be followed until recent times, shows they were appreciated not only as antiques but as demonstrations of Magini's mastery of instrument design |
